+The event loop is running twice. The
+:meth:`~BaseEventLoop.run_until_complete` method is preferred in this short
+example to raise an exception if the server is not listening, instead of
+having to write a short coroutine to handle the exception and stop the
+running loop. At :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.run_until_complete` exit, the loop is
+no more running, so there is no need to stop the loop in case of an error.
